'Going to' festivals like Hanoians: Returning to childhood in the morning, going all out at shows at night

Walking around Hoan Kiem Lake and the surrounding streets these days, you will easily "fall into the trap" of iconic structures, worthy of being the Creative Capital in the UNESCO Creative Cities Network.

The Hanoi Creative Design Festival 2024 will lead the public on a journey of eye-catching art, a colorful cultural feast with more than 100 attractive activities from many fields such as architecture, design, fine arts, performance, cinema, advertising spread across 7 heritages of Hanoi.

The Hanoi Creative Design Festival 2024 has unique and different features with the criteria: less ceremony - more festival. People in the capital can freely experience new activities, both overwhelmed by creative arrangements and excited by emotional and unexpectedly passionate events.

A ticket to childhood at the Crossroads of Memories

“Memory Crossroads” is an ideal destination for dreamers who want to return to their childhood once again in their lives. Not only is it an ideal interactive space for children, it is also an opportunity for parents and young people to return to their childhood.

This is a gift brought by Vietnam Prosperity Joint Stock Commercial Bank ( VPBank ) and social enterprise Tohe to the Hanoi Creative Design Festival 2024 to inspire creativity for young people, while contributing to enriching the creative educational spaces of the capital.

Memory Crossroads is one of many activities attracting children and adults at the Hanoi Creative Design Festival 2024.

Located at the Octagonal House (Ly Thai To Flower Garden), Memory Crossroads looks from afar like a nest of hatched eggs with a flock of chirping baby birds exploring the world . Entering Memory Crossroads is entering lovely workshops, designs created by the creative team for children to freely explore.

From the Puppet Workshop (Naughty Puppet) to the Imprint Workshop (In the Mark of May) or the Brick Workshop (Little Bricks) all bear the mark of an interesting creative space for children's imagination. Just looking at children playing and "seriously" creating in the Memory Crossroads, you immediately want to explore together.

The children were engrossed in creating their own creative works.

Memory Crossroads is designed as a creative educational space, an attractive stop for both children and adults. Combining education and creativity (creative education), Memory Crossroads is truly a place for children to indulge in their true joy.

Another interesting thing about Memory Crossroads is the rare opportunity to enjoy a series of famous and unique Vietnamese animated films from more than half a century ago. Through the series of Vietnamese animated films from the 60s and 70s by Truong Qua with Worthy of the Fox, Son Tinh Thuy Tinh, Giant Hands and Ngo Manh Lan with Cat, Talking Starling, The Story of Ong Giong, Thang Long Fire Dragon, you will realize that Vietnam also has unique animated works that are not inferior to those in the world, with images that are deeply Vietnamese.

"Crossroads of Memory" inspires creative ideas of the young generation.

Memory Crossroads is open from 9am-6pm every day from November 9-17.

Have fun and forget the way home

VPBank also accompanies other events within the framework of the Hanoi Creative Design Festival 2024, of which the Rock & Fashion Show: Hanoi, the place to return to is one of the art programs that left a strong impression. Strolling around Hoan Kiem Lake, visiting the "Memory Crossroads" at the Octagon House, "reminiscing about the future" at the Children's Palace, eating Trang Tien ice cream, going to Old Quarter cafes... and ending with a music performance is a "combo" of emotions that could not be more complete in the sunny autumn days of Hanoi.

Therefore, if there is an event that young people cannot forget, it is the Rock & Fashion Show: Hanoi, the place to go home. Taking place on the evening of November 10 at the August Revolution Square, the Rock & Fashion Show: Hanoi, the place to go home is a gift for those who love fashion and music.

The artists are sublimated with emotions, telling heritage stories at the crossroads of time.

For music lovers, especially rock music lovers, the concert is truly a “rare thing”. The reason for saying so is because it has been a long time since the audience has seen the generation of rockers of Vietnamese Rock sharing such a passionate stage.

It both reminds us of the “Rock Storm” (Rock Storm series) of the past, and shows traces of the Hanoi rock eras; from the eldest and second brothers like Purple Blues, Thuy Trieu Do, Ngu Cung to the “youngest brothers” playing rock in the Indie (independent) model like Ly Buc, Blue Whales.

Artists burn out at the Rock & Fashion stage in Hanoi, a place to return to.

Five bands, five different musical colors and personalities, but they all share the same immortal rock spirit. The audience enthusiastically “rocked” with all their might, as if it were a complete “combo” of emotions that Hanoi brought to everyone. Many audiences present at the event (November 10) agreed with this.

The audience swayed and exploded with legendary Rock melodies.

The Hanoi Creative Design Festival 2024 with the theme of Creative Crossroads will take place from November 9-17. This is an opportunity for you to see a different and creative Hanoi. You can take a look at iconic buildings, the encounters between heritage, architecture and contemporary art practices. "Going to the festival" like Hanoians is also a way to encourage the creativity of the capital, worthy of being one of the 300 global creative cities network recognized by UNESCO.
